Do we need religion?

    Is religion something that man needs, or will it eventually wither away?

    You only need religion if you need a crutch to help you with life.

    OC, we need to know that God is the one who gave us life, and we need to worship Him for that.

    People need to believe in something... so they do. Without a belief in something what is the point, because in the end we are all dead? I believe suicide would sky rocket without some kind of organized belief where people could get together and share whatever it is they believe.

    Religion is a ultimate lifestyle, its what you live for, sometime it becomes the vision to die for.

    Religion is what holds us strong when we're nothing.

    I can't understand that foolish people who believe in Astrology, intuition, luck and souls but not at religions.

    I don't think it's something we "need".


    No, probably not.

    Since many people don't believe in any god, no, religion is not something we need. (We need air - without it we die. We don't die due to not believing in a god.)

    Then why is the VAST majority of the prison population in the US today religious? And why are most atheists honest?

    If there's no religion, then there wouldn't be wars caused by religions like crusade war, there wouldn't be terrorism.

    More wars caused by religion:
    All of the Crusades
    The Troubles in Ireland
    Rwanda 1994
    Boznia-Herzegovina (and by extension Kosovo)
    The Ivory Coast civil wars
    Cyprus
    East Timor civil war
    Sri Lankan civil war
    Current Iraqi civil war
    Hezbollah vs. Israel
    Syria vs. Israel
    Kashmir civil war
    Chechnya civil war
    Sudan
    Thirty Years War

    That's just a brief overview.

    @g36:

    That's like saying "it became, and it still is" is a "brief" history of the universe. :)

    why are you presenting these based on religions?

    all of these are/ were based on geographical control, national interests and resource controlling.

    Religion = Some need it while others don't.

    Religion + Politics = No, we don't need it. This has led many cruel people control people through their fear of God and eventually killed hundreds of innocent lives due to meaningless wars.

    There would still be terrorism , there would still be a shitload of wars and there would be no code of ethics .

    Since we speak of heinous deeds do the names Stalin , Mao Zedong and Pol Put ring any bells ?

    @Rukbat Here's a question for you . When a Christian criminal commits homicide is he following his religion or is he following no religion ?

    You will; if you don't believe in God before you die the physical death, then your soul will die the "second death".
